The final feature for Arpril 2013!

Artist name -  OhOhFlamethrower Link to the image - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10430173/

Image type and characters - Type A digital colored artwork of a dog being taken into a giant lizard's mouth.

Why this image was chosen - This image could be described as minimalist but then again there's a lot of texture and detail in both characters. What makes this image so good is that the texturing work goes toward a less is more technique with strategic composition than by direct additional elements. I love the thick long muscular looking neck and the way the shading has highlighted the variation of surface from the lower jaw down to the shoulder area. The mouth is very nicely rendered with lovely flesh tones and wonderful looking saliva. The way the tongue is wrapped around the dog's arm denotes that the predator has firm control over the hapless canine. The dog looks great as the hint of fur highlights and of color, shading and positioning of the hands and body on the lizard's tongue says to me it looks like an unwilling scene. The silvery eyes of the lizard makes him/her look more ominous, dangerous in that you can't discern anything from their glossy appearance if you tried to read something from them. The light color of the background and of the lizard makes this image look like a screen grab taken out of someone's dream.

This is a fine piece of work, good job Flamethrower!
